Introduction to SINBAD - Tutorial - 25448

With the reduction of experimental activities in several countries accompanied by closing of many experimental facilities, the need to preserve the valuable information on the performed radiation shielding benchmarks became increasingly crucial. Since the early 1990's the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank (OECD/NEADB) and the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) are working together on the Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) project to preserve and make available the information on the past shielding benchmark experiments. The OECD NEA Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) Expert Group on Radiation Transport and Shielding (EGRTS) was started in 2011 with the mandate among others, to monitor, steer and support the continued development of the SINBAD database. The database comprises now 102 shielding benchmarks, divided into three categories, covering both low and inter-mediate energy particles applications: fission reactor shielding (48 benchmarks), fusion blanket neutronics (31), and accelerator shielding (23) benchmarks. They are fundamental to ensure that modelling tools meet the requirements of nuclear industry and licensing needs. Validation of nuclear cross-section data, nuclear codes and models as well as nuclear design components are few examples of the use of the database. (authors)

ANS MultiApps tutorial

The Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) [1] is an open-source, parallel finite element framework which provides the foundation formany advanced modeling and simulation tools developed under the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program [2] for the analysis of advanced reactors. The MOOSE framework provides the common foundational capability on which many NEAMS codes for reactor analysis are built. The MOOSE framework also includes several systems to assemble unique workflows and coupling amongMOOSE-based applications. In particular, the MultiApp and Transfer systems are widely used to assemble different MOOSE-based or MOOSE- wrapped physics applications together to perform loosely or tightly coupled multiphysics simulations. The National Reactor Innovation Center’s (NRIC’s) Virtual Test Bed (VTB) [3] hosts publicly available nuclear reactor multiphysics simulation examples which leverage MOOSE’s MultiApp system to meet the modeling needs of different reactor types. The flexibility and robustness of coupling provided by MOOSE permits rapid development of coupled physics models for a wide range of reactor types and events.
